Chris Leben ’s run with the UFC began with the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter.” It ended in January 2014 when he retired from MMA . Before, during and after his tenure with the UFC, “The Crippler” did a lot of living, and on a few occasions, he came close to doing some dying. Shortly after leaving MMA, Leben sat down with Daniel J. Patinkin and began to reveal the intimate details of his life. Eighteen months of conversations later, a memoir was born, the aptly entitled, “ The Crippler: Cage Fighting and My Life on the Edge ” (Skyhorse Publishing, 272 pages)
